[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of
Upper Frederick 8-14-2003 by Ord. No. 03-03.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The survey, plan and system for the numbering of houses and buildings,
as established by Upper Frederick Township, is hereby approved and adopted.
On and after the passage and approval of this chapter, it shall be the
duty of each and every owner, trustee, lessee, agent and occupant of each
and every house, building or other structure in Upper Frederick Township to
cause the same to be numbered in accordance with this chapter, and the system
and plan hereby adopted and approved.
A.Â
The number shall be placed in a conspicuous place on
or over each front door, on the front transom bar, front transom glass or
front show window, over or on either side of the entrance or on a post or
other available structure at the driveway entrance to the property. The number
shall be reflective in character, at least three inches in height, and shall
be so placed as to be in full view from the opposite side of the street. In
those instances where the house, building or other structure is too distant
for the posted numbers to be visible from the street, the numbers shall be
placed on a post or other available structure at the driveway entrance to
the property. In those instances where the length of the driveway from the
street to the residence exceeds 200 feet, a marker to be supplied by Upper
Frederick Township at cost to the owner, shall be posted at the driveway entrance.
B.Â
It shall be unlawful to cover any house number with any
sign, drapery or other obstruction tending to conceal such number, and all
old numbers shall removed from any house, building or other structure when
a new number has been assigned, and when so directed by the Upper Frederick
Township Engineer.
C.Â
The Upper Frederick Township Engineer is hereby authorized
to require the numbering and renumbering of any house, building or other structure
in accordance with this chapter.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this
chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not
more than $1,000, plus costs; and, in default of payment of said fine and
costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 90 days. Each day that a violation
of this chapter continues shall constitute a separate offense.
